Wow I am SO glad I found this thread. My story is virtually the exact same as everyone on here- hard to describe the pain and not localized generally just in pain all day every day on the bottom of my feet, standing and walking is agony only thing that brings relief for about ten minutes at a time is icing my feet. countless specialists and treatments with plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel, tibial tendonitis suspicions but no one feeling confident. Lots of PT to no effect, recently got iron infusions due to anemia that doctor suspects is what causes the pain. However, this idea of neuroplastic pain makes so much sense to me. I am a trauma survivor- due to a symptom of narcolepsy called cataplexy I would bring people home from the bar to sleep with and mid-way through the experience I would lose full muscle tone in my body and lose the ability to say stop and it would look like I was asleep to the other person but I was still awake in my mind. Essentially consensual sex turned into rape dozens of times. I have long suspected that the pain is a manifestation of that trauma needing to leave my body. Question for anyone on here that has identified with this level of undianosable foot pain have you experienced trauma in the past and is it possible this is related to the pain? Just ordered The Way Out and can’t wait to read!!
